When I saw another video about this the other night I couldn’t make sense of it.

Now I’m guessing that atmospheric conditions were just right for the missile’s engine to create a contrail. That’s the blue straight line. The cone shaped cloud was caused by the missile going through the sound barrier.

At least that’s my current hypothesis.

Can someone explain why its a good idea to do a missile test, with no warning, in a heavily populated area? I thought that is why they have bases like Roswell.

Submarine launched ballistic missile.Probably impacted Kwajalean Islands with a dummy warhead. You can bet that was launched from well offshore, just put on a show for a huge area as it flew higher. And there was warning hence the temporary no fly zone.

Actually kind of beautiful. So was this some kind of publicity stunt? Obviously this test was meant to be seen. What is the message supposed to be?

Here’s an article from the Foxtrot Alpha blog. In the article is a link to a map of military operating areas in the Pacific Ocean.
